EAT my 1/2 of HD space. D**M

first, i realise that my computer getting a lot of problem. therefore i try to format again and install again the OS.

before gettting the installation process. it will go to the scandisk procedure. during the scandisk process, there's show a error about the FAT table. i tried to fix it and then the error was fixed.

after that, i install the OS right now. the problem is ... i realize that my drive C: space originally is 19GB, become to 2.x GB right now. so what's the problem anyway ??? is there anyway to fix it ???

I'm wondering if you might have wiped out a drive overlay. Some older bioses will only access 2G without one. Check out the drive manufacturer's website, they should have the software and instructions available to download for free.

yeah, i agree, this situation is partition problem. backup whole files to other storage device. delete all partition and then format it again, and then re-partition it again. and the job is done. hee...

scandisk? yeah, there's an error msg i found and there's a "fix it" button, but then, there's a msg said that " if you fix the problem that your current drive is NTFS or xxx, this could damage your drive" ...

now i realise that the "FIX IT" situation make the space remaining display wrong. this is partition table problem.

well... my HD have been warranted and could get a new HD after 2 weeks. huh.... it's quite a long time to wait for the HD .. sigh..

but then, i just discovered that if your drive is in winXP problem, if you wish to install win98(that mean directly run though the scandisk procedure), be aware of the "FIX it" situation. this could make your partition table in trouble.....
